Have you decided upon your New Year’s resolution(s) yet? If not, want to join in on mine?
365 days of WOW
It’s pretty simple: WOW one person. Every day.
That’s it. Give someone a sincere compliment out of the blue. Deliver a random act of kindness. Reach out to a friend or client you haven’t talked with in a while.
The only condition is that your means have to be original enough to genuinely make them say, “Wow!” I don’t think any more than once daily is necessary, because if I can create 365 “wows” in 2011, I will have significantly improved on 2010. And, to be honest, that’ll make for a pretty good year, regardless of what else happens.
So, what do you say? Are you in?

I love this concept. I really have been thinking a lot of about this way of thinking. This is a great way to become unselfish, build others around you and become an overall better person.
Thanks for sharing Cindy. It’s been a really enjoyable exercise so far, as each day it has become a challenge to come up with one thing to WOW someone. I’ve had fun with it.
I’ve also realized that my perspective was probably a little narrower than I intended, and the other part I should be doing is recognizing when someone else does something that WOWs me. That has also been a lot of fun, for the past few days also.
Thanks again for sharing.
I’m going to mark them down on my calendar as a reminder!
Generally I don’t make New Year resolutions because I make weekly and monthly ones
But if we’re looking for ways to “wow” people, here’s a good one: The next time you go to the store and see a dozen shopping carts scattered around the lot (some of them blown in the wind and about to hit cars!), take five minutes and gather them up. It will be a pleasant surprise for the next worker who comes out!
